A new type of instrument for in-situ detection of volcanic sulfur dioxide is presented on the basis of non-dispersive UV absorption spectroscopy. It is a promising alternative to presently used compact and low-cost SO2 monitoring techniques, over which it has a series of advantages, including an inh...
